Obverse description The state emblem of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea occupies the central field, depicting a hydroelectric dam and power lines before a mountain landscape, surmounted by a five-pointed star radiating rays, the whole flanked by sheaves of rice bound with a ribbon inscribed with the country's name in Hangul. The legend 조선민주주의인민공화국 (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) curves along the upper periphery, while the denomination 5 원 appears at the base flanked by decorative foliate sprays. The weight and fineness indicators 27g and 999 are inscribed in the lower field to either side of the emblem. The date 2001 is also present in the field. The coin is struck to proof quality with deeply mirrored fields contrasting with frosted devices.
